Although kayoed in the seventh inning, Bill Singer received credit for his 10th victory when the Angels defeated the Tigers, 7-4. Singer was sailing along on a one-hitter until the seventh when Gates Brown walked and Duke Sims homered. A pass to Norm Cash and single by Dick McAuliffe brought Dave Sells into the game in relief.

Ed Brinkman singled for another run before the inning ended and Willie Horton added a homer in the eighth. However, by that time, the Angels already had an adequate lead with their attack including a homer by Vada Pinson and three hits by Sandy Alomar, including a triple for his first extra-base blow of the season.
